Daniel Hillelheadline bar Return to 2005-06 *"The Use and Abuses of Soil and Water Resources Around the World: A Historical Review and Future Prospect"*   Dr. Daniel Hillel **Senior Research Scientist Center for Climate Systems Research of Columbia University** **Building 003 Auditorium November 16, 2005 10:30 AM**
   Born in California, Dr. Daniel Hillel relocated at an early age to Palestine (later to become Israel), where he spent part of his childhood in a pioneering settlement and where he acquired an early and abiding love of the land and a commitment to understanding and protecting the natural environment. He obtained a B.S. degree in agronomy at the University of Georgia, M.S. in soil science at Rutgers University, Ph.D. in ecology and soil physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and then conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California. In Israel, he served as Professor and Head of Soil and Water Sciences at the Hebrew University and helped to develop innovative methods for the efficient utilization of the country's limited soil and water resources. Subsequently, he served as professor of soil physics, hydrology, and environmental sciences at several leading universities in the U.S. and abroad. He is currently serving as Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Climate Systems Research of Columbia University in New York and as Visiting Lecturer at the University of Bonn.
